The problem will be how to break a three way tie if each of the three teams had a win and a loss against the other two. It may have happened since, but I only remember 1969 when Yale, Dartmouth, and Princeton were all 6-1 in the league.

My guess is the best scoring differential in league play

They create bad incentives to run up scores.

I'd much prefer the league look to which of the tri-champs beat the fourth place team. And if two of the tri-champions have beaten the fourth place team, then the winner of the head-to-head game between them should get the bid.

I wish Yale had run up the score more on Dartmouth this year when they had the chance. ;)
